Some comrades over at Hexbear have organized a donation drive for Palestine and, over the past few weeks, have managed to raise over $1500 for verified Palestinian fundraisers. The fediverse is a good place full of good people.

I wasn’t thinking about the Chinese internet firewall at the moment, but you bring up a good point - that’s a bad thing. What’s the alternative, internet freedom where china can’t police the media and public discourse?
Sucks how the west makes china censor it’s citizens.

So the state should choose what people can read and say?
Why on earth would you want that?
I really don’t get the tankie obsession with dictators and authoritarian rule. It seems so contrary to socialist ethos.

There’s the obvious language barrier, but just because something is not from the west does not mean it’s accurate.
I lived in Hong Kong for 3 years, Malaysia for 1, and live in a former Soviet country, so I am no stranger to non-western options.
I hope you give non-western media the same critical analysis that you do western media.
I’m not okay with suppression of information though. How would I even interact with Iranian citizens given that the government has blocked internet access?
Media isn’t blocked in western countries like it is in authoritarian dictatorships like china, Russia, Iran, north Korea, Cuba, etc…
Lack of popularity does not equal censorship and that’s a huge distinction. If I wanted to, I could read NK news.
